Coronavirus (2021) thread

It was only this morning that Hancock was wheeled out on all morning shows proclaiming same, pathetic.

Fully in keeping with their "keep saying things are fine for as long as you can, then all of sudden declare the complete opposite when the media pressure gets too much" policy. Absolute shit houses

Can somebody answer what is probably a very simple question.

Why do Scotland, Wales etc just announce that something is happening without having to vote on it, whilst we have to put it through Commons to vote on?

Or am I missing something obvious here.

More concerned with looking proactive than accessing the situation properly and how it will effect the economy.

She's only jumped the gun from yesterday's COBRA meeting

No this was happening whatever Jonhson does or doesn’t decide. We don’t even know yet whether Johnson will go lockdown for everywhere or fiddle about with a new 5th tier and leave some in other tiers.

If he closes the schools tonight, it needs to be seriously questioned why they didn’t do it at the weekend and have allowed them to be open today. It’s shutting the door (again) after the horse will have already bolted.

You do know it takes 3-5 days for 90% for people to get ill once infected. Look at the PHE reports on where infections are taking place

Yep. Average is 5 days. but going by yours, 3-5 days to get ill. massive spike 4 days after Christmas day.

will be interesting to see if that calms down a bit when the data is processed or if the spike continues.

but all in all, there hasn't been a plateu when you go by dates of test. A lot will be driven by people running from London on the 19th mind you then infecting people who then all mingled at Christmas.

I think 2nd wave Scotland have done quite a lot better.

Only because it hasn't got intrenched there yet

Tonight it would appear.
Boris is speaking to the nation tonight at 8pm.

Excellent.
Well done Nicola and Keith.

Sadly I expect Boris to be as decisive around the 32nd of January.

So you want us to have a dictator that brings in a totalitarian regime and lock people up?

Warrington rates have doubled in two weeks. Almost 1000 cases in the week up to 30 Dec.I would imagine next weeks figures will be higher as Xmas mixing likely to have kicked in.

So we’re going to find out after her
8pm whether our 7 year old daughter is back in school tomorrow?
I’ve already told her that she might not be but she’ll be absolutely gutted. So will I.
Can’t they do it before so we know rather than have to tell her in the morning.
I know in the scheme of things it’s not the end of the world, but come on, why 8pm??
